Today I have to break my promise about not posting anything more on the upcoming Star Trek movie… What can I say – there’s  a huge demand for news on this topic. And Moviemind News obeys.

The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Ben Cross now has joined the crew on the Starship Enterprise. The British actor has been cast as Spock’s father in the J.J. Abrams-directed “Star Trek” feature.

For most of us Ben Cross is best known for his role as the Jewish Olympic athlete Harold Abrahams in ”Chariots of Fire” (1981).

Cross will play the father of Zachary Quinto, who has been cast as the young Spock, and husband to the human Amanda (Winona Ryder). Leonard Nimoy, who originated the role, also will be a part of the film.

The movie began filming this month.
 
I wont give you any more promises. The hype is to great. The world craves for Star Trek. And who am I to deny you that?
